Only temporarily. It automatically adjusts fd usage to what the system
can sustain when hitting the limit (see fdAdjustReserved)

But this also causes problems if there is a temporary system-wide
shortage of filedescriptors due to other processes opening too many
files. Once Squid has detected a filedescriptor limitation it won't go
above the number of filedescriptor it used at that time, and you need to
restart Squid to recover after fixing the cause to the system wide
filedescriptor shortage.
